Chapter Seventy-One: The Black Heart and the System
"When I went to the capital to get the source code a few days ago, I saw that thinker'notebook had a new set of notepads, which were very beautiful, so I bought a few copies and came back, borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and asked the principal to laugh at it. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zeng Fanhao took out a dark gold notepad and handed it to Chen Zhiyang with both hands, Chen Zhiyang saw a huge peony flower blooming on the cover, so he praised: "It is worthy of being the king of flowers, graceful and elegant, splendid and magnificent, more atmospheric than orchids, narcissus and the like, Chairman Mao said that you have to be like a peony to bear heavy responsibilities." ”
These words seemed to mean something, Zeng Fanhao smiled when he heard it, and agreed with him.
Chen Zhiyang opened the exquisite and elegant cover, and saw a bank card pasted on the title page, and a note next to it, which said 200,000 and six 8s, so he smiled and said lightly: "Thousands of miles to send goose feathers, the courtesy is light, Director Zeng came back with a notepad from the capital, which shows the deep affection, but I was disrespectful, so I accepted it." ”
He put the notepad into the drawer of the desk, gently knocked on the table and pondered for a moment, and said: "My lover usually likes to play with flowers and plants, and has raised several peonies, which are about to bloom in early May. ”
May was a critical moment to decide the ownership of the dean's throne, Zeng Fanhao was overjoyed when he heard this, stood up and said: "Definitely, definitely, it will definitely come when the time comes." ”
"Then it's settled. ”
After Zeng Fanhao left with a thousand thanks, Chen Zhiyang's face immediately turned cold, took out a notepad from the drawer, touched the exquisite cover with the palm of his hand, felt the unique touch of the slight concave and convex between the petals and the paper, and said to himself: "The flowers are rich and rich, Du Qiu, this golden peony was almost lost by your nonsense, and you still want to be the dean?"
When he checked the browser at the Institute of Quantum Physics that day, Zeng Fanhao was ashamed to think that iscript was a useless toy, if it wasn't for the returnee doctor who said a fair word, Chen Zhiyang almost believed it, and according to the information that Chen Dayou fed back from the United States in the past few days, iscript is widely sought after, more important than the iview browser itself, important enough to make Netscape offer a sky-high acquisition of $5 million.
I almost lost a thousand-dollar worth of thousands of dollars because of one of his!
Even if you have poor ability, you don't even have a basic vision, how can you be the dean of the School of Computer Science?
As the saying goes, people have stumbles, horses have stumbles, and everyone has a time when they look away, Chen Zhiyang didn't take the events of that day to heart, but Zeng Fanhao's next series of actions touched his reverse scales, so that the unintentional mistake was infinitely magnified, and turned into a deadly poison - Zeng Fanhao was stunned by the "major scientific and technological achievements that fill the gap in China", not only inquired about Du Qiu's origin and information everywhere, but also personally went to the capital to find Chen Dayou to ask for the source code of iView.
That's the treasure of my son's fortune and my promotion to the rank of knight!
How old are you, and you deserve a piece of the pie?
Chen Zhiyang opened the cover of the notepad, tore off the bank card on the title page, snorted with some disdain, and muttered to himself: "I have no ability, no vision, and I even procrastinate with a little blood, how can I be the dean?"
He looked at the time in the United States with a watch with an international time zone display, then picked up the phone and dialed Chen Dayou's number in San Jose, the call was answered by a woman, and after a few words of chat, it was handed over to Chen Dayou, mixed with the screams of little girls and the laughter of adults, and it sounded like the two were very close.
"Dayou, who was that just now?"
"My former college classmate is also the current landlord of our company. Chen Dayou explained very casually and asked, "Dad, has the money arrived?"
"Not yet, Zeng Fanhao is old, his mind is not bright, I mentioned it several times and he didn't respond, I didn't send it over until today, I will arrange someone to transfer it to you." ”
"200,000?"
"Hmm. ”
"Dad, 200,000 is not enough! Our side is developing rapidly, the number of homepage views and program downloads are exploding, and we have to buy a few more servers. ”
"I'll think about it again. Has Du Qiu's investment of 500,000 yuan arrived?"
"He paid 100,000 yuan in the capital last time, and the remaining 400,000 yuan has not moved, saying that it will arrive before May 1. Chen Dayou paused slightly, and then said: "His notepad business is doing very well, and there should be no problem with the 400,000 yuan." ”
Chen Zhiyang looked at the notepad on the desk, and suddenly felt that the peony flower was a little dazzling, and couldn't help but sigh softly, if Du Qiu didn't have the notepad business behind him to support, he could get more shares by adding a sum of money, and now he has a notepad business to provide a steady stream of funds, and the Chen family wants to increase the shares, so they can only smash more real money.
"You urge Du Qiu more, give him a little pressure, plus today's figures, we have almost invested 700,000, and he should also express it. ”
Chen Dayou responded, and then lowered his voice and said: "Dad, you communicate more with those uncles and friends in China, raise money as soon as possible, the more the better, now even Microsoft has sent an email to invite Du Qiu to visit Seattle, I estimate that in a few days, Silicon Valley venture capital companies will flock to it, in case Du Qiu decides to raise money, my shares will be diluted very much, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money, you can't miss it." ”
"I try. Chen Zhiyang held the bank card sent by Zeng Fanhao between his fingers, and said in a casual tone: "You prepare a lawyer's letter in the name of Du Qiu, and send it to me when Lao Zeng is about to finish plagiarizing the browser, and I will ask him to pay another hush money in the name of mediation. ”
Chen Dayou smiled and said, "I had already prepared a lawyer's letter when I handed over the source code to him in the capital. ”
"Have you communicated with Du Qiu about this? Don't make him suspicious because of a little petty profit. ”
"Of course I communicated, this guy is very shrewd, and I can't get the source code without communication. After Chen Dayou said a few words of gossip, he said with some envy: "Du Qiu is living like a fairy now, taking a beautiful female secretary to swagger through the market, giving technical speeches everywhere, and it is becoming more and more popular, even a famous school like Berkeley dares to go." ”
"I said a long time ago that he is not a thing in the pool, you manage the company's affairs well, let him give speeches as much as possible, the more popular the better, it is good for you and me. ”
After Chen Zhiyang hung up the phone, he was about to go to the bank to withdraw the money, and then transfer it to the United States through the channel of acquaintances.
Du Qiu stood under the iView billboard near the University of California, Berkeley, and handed the camera to Jiang Danfeng and asked her to help take a few photos, because it was the world's first iView advertisement, and the only one, that was temporarily erected for him to come to Berkeley to give a speech.
"This ad is really rudimentary. After Jiang Danfeng took the photo, he said: "Du Qiu, you remember that the copywriting is so creative, why don't you make a creative copywriting for iview, this is too ordinary." ”
"Notepad is a well-known common commodity, so it depends on creativity to win, iview is a little-known new technology product, science is more important than creativity. Du Qiu looked up at the billboard and said: "I originally planned to ask a few models to shoot some dynamic pictures, but American models are too expensive, so I have to get a camera that doesn't cost money as the protagonist, and then I will be creative when I have money in the future." ”
Jiang Danfeng pointed to the round logo on the billboard and said casually: "This logo is the same color as the square logo of the company, but the shape is different, are you lazy to draw it casually?"
Girl, you really don't know the goods......
Notepad logo is Microsoft's logo after 2012, this is the logo of Google chrome browser, how can it be drawn casually......
The University of California, Berkeley is the world's top university, the computer major is particularly famous, and it has almost never fallen out of the top five in various rankings, if it can get an official invitation to give a speech in this school, it will be a great honor, but Du Qiu is not qualified yet, he came to participate in a small event organized by the students spontaneously, held in a very ordinary lecture hall, and the audience is not much, only thirty or forty.
Although it was only a small activity organized by the students, Du Qiu still came with great interest, on the one hand, because in 1995, American college students were the most important and active group on the Internet, and they had to pay attention to it, and on the other hand, they came to see the holy land of Silicon Valley like they traveled to Mountain View a few days ago.
If Mountain View represents Silicon Valley's rich business culture, then Berkeley represents Silicon Valley's open technology culture, where the famous BSD and BSD licenses were born, BSD stands for Berkeley Software Suite, which is one of the greatest products in open source software, and one of the driving forces for the development of the Internet industry, from which any operating system in the world, including Microsoft's Windows and Apple's OS-X, has benefited a lot.
Du Qiu's laptop is mainly used to watch movies and play games, so it is installed with the window10 operating system, but since he was admitted to the university in 2008, the desktop computer he uses for programming has been equipped with the FreeBSD operating system, not only learned a lot of knowledge and technology from the source code, but also cultivated a programming style that pursues simplicity and rigor, so he has a high respect for this university.
The effect of the evening speech was not bad, Du Qiu's English was not good, so he played up his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, did not talk about empty theories, nor sprinkled bloody chicken soup, and seriously talked about practice, taking the research and development process of iview as the axis, and taking the books he had read before crossing and his own thinking as the information, and talked about some programming experience and other things, although it was unpretentious, but it was very popular with students who knew the goods.
At the end of the speech, one of the students stood up and asked, "Mr. Du, you have been promoting the idea of open source software, but why do you use Microsoft's closed-source operating system in both works?"
"Because I only have Microsoft operating systems in my computers in China. ”
"That's a shame, we can send you a CD-ROM of FreeBSD, open source software should run on an open source operating system, not on Microsoft garbage. ”
"Thank you for your kindness, but I already have it, because the first item I bought after I came to the United States was a CD from FreeBSD. ”
In the laughter and applause of the students, Jiang Danfeng glanced at Du Qiu with a smile.
Wasn't the first item you bought in the U.S. a ticket to the Bulls......
What freebsd discs, I've never seen before......
